  • Standing where I am now, standing up at all
    I was used to feeling like I was never gonna see myself at the finish line
    Hanging on to parts of me, hanging on at all
    I was used to seeing no future in my sight line

    Sometimes it feels like they wanna remind me
    Send all those villains after me

    I'm not their hero
    But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
    I never walked the party line
    Doesn't mean that I was never afraid
    I'm not your hero
    But that doesn't mean we're not one and the same

    Feeling like I am now lighting up the hall
    I was used to standing in the shadow of a damaged heart
    Learning all I know now, losing all I did
    I never used to feel like I'd be standing so far ahead

    Sometimes it feels what I recovered you lost
    Sending your peaceful loss to me

    I'm not their hero
    But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
    I never walked the party line
    Doesn't mean that I was never afraid
    I'm not your hero
    But that doesn't mean we're not one and the same

    Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on
    Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand
    Sometimes it feels like I'm all that they've got
    It's so hard to know I'm not what they want

    Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on
    Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand
    Sometimes it feels like I'm all that they've got
    It's so hard to know I'm not what they want

    I'm not their hero
    But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
    I never walked the party line
    Doesn't mean that I was never afraid
    I'm not your hero
    But that doesn't mean we're not one and the same
    I do my best to walk the finest line
    Till I've had all that I can take Writer/s: Sara Keirsten Quin, Tegan Rain Quin
